Current and practice-relevant news from pediatric urology

Abstract

Evidence-based medicine is established by conducting high-quality, well-structured, and ideally prospective randomized trials. The initiation and performance of such studies pose a challenge to pediatric urology. Several randomized studies on vesicoureteral reflux, stone treatment, and urinary incontinence in childhood have been published in recent years. In addition, relevant guidelines on the topic of vesicoureteral reflux and phimosis were issued. Comprehensive up-to-date data are also available on undescended testicles and correction of hypospadias from which a recommended course of action can be derived.
